Slug Disco Studios announced Stationbreak, a PC roguelite from indie developer Broken Spaceship, coming to Steam. Players lead a fleet fleeing the Swarm, an energy-consuming entity, building temporary space stations in each star system to produce fuel for the next jump. The Swarm cannot be fought; players manage resources and decide when to escape.

Slug Disco and Aberrant Labs announced that their 2D roguelike twin-stick shooter Pathogenic will launch on Steam on July 16. The game casts players as a pathogen invading the human body, fighting immune cells and rival parasites across procedurally generated stages themed after organs such as the intestines, heart, and liver. Players collect over 120 types of organelles and combine them to customize their pathogen's combat style, from long-range attacks to close-range sweeps and electric strikes. A demo is available now, letting players choose from three pathogen types-bacteria, parasite, and spore-and play through the first four stages: skin, intestines, stomach, and liver. The demo has been played by over 100,000 people. An upcoming update for Steam Next Fest will add a fourth pathogen, Amoeba, which evolves as the player progresses, changing its shape and structure. The full release includes all planned content.
